Recipes:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
⅓ cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
¼ cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the Creamy Garlic Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, ricotta, feta, dried cranberries, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in size.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute. Add the orzo and toast for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, gently tossing them with the orzo.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
